David DiMuzio Lyrics
“Alone for a While”
Riding on the Subway
Looking like a tragic hero
Julius Caesar never felt this warm
Or if he did he never talked about it
A one-bedroom apartment in Charlotte
I think the loneliest number is love
I see the tourists walking through my life
And I’m learning not to think about’m
And I’m learning that family and your long time best friends
Are the only ones that last
I’m learning that tragedy and the way I react
Is the only thing I have
I’ll fall in love
Again, I know I will
Love’s not enough
To keep me standing still
I gave away my heart
Look babe I’m a shooting star
But I can’t give away my life
Long night flying over Memphis
Flashing lights and faded jeans I
Think I’ll light a little candle for
A TV screen full of dying dreams
And all the lonely teenage idols
Who gave up what they sing about
To the God’s of superstardom
Sitting in their synagogues handing tickets out
To the beautiful
Am I beautiful
Last time last fight
I swear I tried
Is this my empire
Are all these brilliant light for me
A one man empire
Play my soul on an mp3
I’m learning that family
Is really not that bad
And I’m learning that tragedy
Is never all I have
Cuz it’s my life
And it’s not that bad
